Obviously I will be asking my consultant about it and I don’t expect a diagnosis here but I was curious to know if anyone developed

missed diagnosis
hi all. I was diagnosed with Hep C in 2020 after being referred to specialist due to results of some routine blood tests. It’s most likely that it was a result of a blood transfusion in 1986. Following treatment I am now clear of the virus but sadly have developed cirrhosis. I have a life policy that

ELF score 8.3
I have had several elastography tests, the last one the same week as I took ELF test. It was 4.8kpa, but ELF test shows moderate fibrosis (8.3). Its seems ELF test is more accurate, because on this forum I have found several people who feel smth is wrong with their liver that have normal elastography

I’m scared
I have been diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis and my consultant is saying that my most recent scan suggests more scaring than they previously thought . I need to stay on steroids now for longer and then reduce more slowly. My blood tests are all good and I feel well but this has scared me . I should

Fluctuation of Platelet Count
Good day. Since May 2022 through January 2023 I have had 4 Blood Draws. The first showed Platelets stable at 150. Then they dropped considerably (31 pts) to 119 (11/22). They recovered slightly to 122 (12/22) and now presently have recovered all the way back to 150 (28 pts) (1/23). I am fully aware

The value - or not - of Liver function blood tests…
Anyone who has encountered me on this forum will know that I have suffered from health anxiety for most of my adult life, and that I have been suffering from from all over the body itching for the past couple of months which I feared could be due to either cirrhosis or liver cancer even though I had

Why don’t the medical team looking after me provide me with information on Cirrhosis?
I feel like I’m be left in the dark! Why do I have to ask all the questions and try and do my own research? I understand everyone and case, symptoms are different from my own research but surely in the times we live in the consultant and or team should give patients a general knowledge on what may or

ultrasound
Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with cirrhosis over 2 years ago due to hep C, which has now been treated. I’m puzzled over the results of my last 2 ultrasounds. The one a year ago said “liver normal” and the next one in December 22 said indicative of fatty liver! No mention of cirrosis. While I would be

some good news
I was diagnosed with liver cancer with 2 tumours, one measuring 3 1/2 cm, in June of last year. The oncologists said I would do well to have two years but with a treatment called TACE I am now cancer free. I do have cirrhosis which they say is the reason that I have the liver cancer, I also have varises
